slow down, take a deep breath
be still, take your time
don't rush, see what happens
move slow, make it rhyme

the little things last a long time
the little things mean so much more
and I don't want you to give me nothin' 
if you don't think I'm worth your time

'cause I don't know 
and you don't know
but that's okay

let's take a walk, by the lakeside 
I take your hand, you take mine
movin' slow, in the right direction
and yet we won't waste any time

Little Things (7in7 Day 3)

I know that you're afraid, 
and fear I understand.
'cause pain is something real
I know that from first hand
but this is something different,
and it's something we don't get
but now that you've left me
my mind just runs and never quits

     being here without you, 
     isn't a place I want to be,
     and days alone have moved on slow
     or maybe it's just me,
     not being sure of what just took place
     or how we landed here
     but the only thing I know, 
     there's nothing I should fear

I've said all that I can say,
but my words can't change your heart
I've given up and laid it down
but you've known that from the start
the fire burns deep down in me
but burning's not enough 
to keep this whole thing standing
or to hold both of us up

no one promised that'd love would be easy
if they did then I'd think it untrue
but you know where I stand
and where I want you to stand
girl you know the one I want is you

Maybe It's Me

let's just try this again
'cause you got underneath my skin
the rhythm fell like rain
we moved against the grain
so let's just try this again

cause people tell me that it's worth it
to not give up on what you love
and this strong warm Texas wind
keeps on wearin' me thin
but you're still the one I'm thinkin' of

so let's give love another shot
I'll give you everything I've got
this rose has many thorns
we're headed off to war
but let's give love another shot

Try This Again

What will be said about me?
Will those things even be true?
Will the life that I lived,
Be easy to forget -
Did I love all the people I knew

Did I pour out the things I was given?
Or just store it away for my own?
For my profit and gain,
Just to lose it the same -
Did I love all the people I knew?

Did I listen to all that you told me?
Or ignore you for all of my days?
Every whisper and pull,
Have I lived like a fool?
Did I love all the people I knew?

Is it well?
with my soul?
am I clean?
am I whole?

All The People

it all started a few blocks from here
the moment that changed our lives
and it would only be but a year
before I made you my bride
and I would be lying if I 
told you I was ready for this
but believe me girl when I tell you
that what you see is what you will get  

     there’s a cold wind blowin’
     down seventh street tonight
     there are storms that are comin’
     we’re not breaking without a fight

and God damn this ol’ restless heart
that believes all of these hopeless lies
that say I’m not good enough
and that You’re not faithful to provide
‘cause oh I’m a wanderer
but I am already made whole
o’ how quickly I often forget 
God bless my cynical soul

like a tree by the river
with the deepest roots below
we’ll stay strong and we’ll tethered 
let’s see how fast the winds really blow 

7th Street Wind

oh it seems like I say I'm sorry a lot
and you know that I love you with all that I've got 
but lately it seems like the words that I tell you aren't true 
that I love you with all that I am, but not what I do

well nothing can change
and nothing can grow
with all of your heart
but none of your soul
so I will draw near
and I will pursue
and we'll make this last 
oh we'll see it through

yeah I'll give you all that I've got
and I’ll remember the things that I forgot
‘cause I don’t wanna be a liar, 
so please forgive me

and I'd like to think that I am a man of my word
but what you really need is something you have not already heard 
'cause I promise you things, and tell you that life will improve
but as time passes by it seems like I still haven't moved

Liar (Demo)

I don't 
have the words to say
have the eyes to see
have the thoughts to think
but You give
every perfect gift 
every melody
all the things I need

so create in me a new song
have mercy on this broken heart
restore to me the hope of my salvation
oh God I think I need a brand new start

I've tried
things to fill the void
to write a masterpiece
but it's just always noise
all my life
I've always been a fool
I think I figured it out 
You're in control

Brand New Start

would you look in the mirror
and tell me what you see
is what you remember? 
is it what you’d want it to be?

and it like we don’t take time
to take a look on the inside
‘cause when it comes 
to passin the blame
we haven't done nothin' wrong

people have we forgotten
where real change truly comes from
'cause I see the stones that are flying
when we shouldn't have thrown the first one
it's easy to see that we're blinded
from the plank that is in our own eye
we're fine with the shit in our own hearts
but it's everyone else we despise
it's everyone else we despise

and I can't watch the tv
or scroll my twitter feed
without seein' hate and the violence
towards people no different from me

Mirror (Demo)

maybe I am blind
maybe I can't see
but what I can see now is
what you mean to me

maybe I've gone numb
and I can't feel at all
but what I can feel now is 
how much I need your love

'cause your love is worth more than gold
I hope we're together 'til we're old
even if I'm broke and on the streets
if I got you I know I've all I need

maybe I've gone deaf
and I can't hear at all 
but I'll still be listenin'
for your gentle call

maybe I mute
and all my words are gone
I hope you still remember 
me singin' you this song
